How to read these connections

Each box lists records connected to the one you are viewing, and says how the connection was made. A connection shows that two records are related in the source data. It does not show that something works, is safe or should be used, and a record with many connections is not necessarily better studied or more effective.

  • Study records (trials, systematic reviews, publications): the study names this subject. Registered or ongoing studies have no results here, and animal or cell research does not show an effect in people.
  • Source-database links (for example herb and compound, compound and gene target): taken from the imported databases and not independently checked by us.
  • Name matches (for example formula and herb, or a condition named in a study): found by matching names, so they can be wrong. Treat them as leads, not findings.
